Mikaila and John’s Jewish wedding at Cliveden House was one of those celebrations that stays with you long after the editing is done. The combination of the venue’s extraordinary grandeur — the sweeping Thames-side grounds, the grand 17th-century façade, the formal parterre — and the particular warmth and genuine joy of Mikaila and John’s celebration gave everything that happened that day a beauty and depth that we return to with real affection. It was elegant, deeply personal, and entirely full of life from the very first moment to the very last.

The Chuppah Ceremony
The Chuppah set the emotional tone for the entire day — intimate and deeply moving, beautifully framed by the grandeur of Cliveden’s extraordinary grounds. From the moment Mikaila walked down the aisle — radiant and full of joy — to the sacred exchange of vows beneath the Chuppah, every moment carried a quality of genuine significance and emotional depth that produced footage of real beauty.
The Ketubah signing gave the celebration its first moment of quiet, sacred intimacy before the ceremony. The breaking of the glass — the roar of “Mazel Tov!” from the assembled guests, the particular quality of collective communal joy that moment releases — was extraordinary on film. And the Hora that followed brought a warmth and energy to the celebration that filled every corner of this magnificent venue.

The Details — Florals, Marquee & Styling
Mikaila and John are a couple who know exactly who they are — and that showed in every single choice they made. The florals by Mary Jane Vaughan were breathtaking — arrangements of extraordinary beauty and scale that complemented the grandeur of the Cliveden grounds without ever competing with it. The marquee by Sail and Peg transformed the estate into something genuinely magical — a beautifully crafted temporary space of real character and warmth that felt entirely at home in the extraordinary setting. Styling by Duchess & Butler and Furniture 4 Events brought every detail together with the visual consistency and refinement that made the whole day feel entirely coherent.
The exceptional planning team at Cranberry Blue Weddings led the coordination of the entire day — and the quality and seamlessness of how everything unfolded was a direct reflection of the depth of their care and professionalism. Every moment flowed from the last with complete ease, and the atmosphere throughout was one of pure, genuine joy.
“Mikaila and John know exactly who they are — and that quality of absolute certainty and genuine personal vision showed in everything about their wedding. The florals, the marquee, the ceremony, the Hora — every element was considered and genuinely beautiful. It was one of the most complete and joyful celebrations we have ever had the privilege of filming at Cliveden House.”

The reception was everything a Cliveden House evening should be — grand in scale and warm in atmosphere, with the particular quality of a celebration that has been completely thought through and then entirely let go. The Hora brought the room to its feet — the dancing, the singing, the particular communal joy of a Jewish celebration at full energy in this extraordinary setting.
